Perfect English

There came a time in my life where I began to resent my parents for not speaking "perfect english". Along with that, I realized that the real problem layed with me. My lack of pactience was the true culprit.

The Palmers

I'm indebted to the Palmer's. What Father provided them with (close knit community, love, suffering) he too has provided for us. I'm thankful, Mark never seemed to hold back the reality of their situation.

Community

Last week Father brought together our community at my parent's home. We first met up at the Stoddards and then headed over to my parents for time of loving each other and praying for one another.

Indebted

There are SO MANY PEOPLE who need to be thanked individually and as a whole. My family and I are indebted to all of our brothers and sisters who continue to stand with us, and bear through this time of pain and transition. You all deserve to mentioned by name, but I'm sure many of you rather me keep your names silent. May you all be honored for your love. May His Kingdom come.

Instead of mentioning your names, I will mention your beautiful deeds (in no particular order):

  • Monday night Dinners

  • Wednesday night Dinners

  • Prayers and Afirmation

  • Home retrofitting

  • Being showered with spontaneous groceries

  • Assitance in filling out medicaid application

  • Picking up and dropping off prescriptions

  • Hanging out with my Dad

  • Offers of money

  • Helping my mom take my dad to doctors appoinments

  • Running errands

  • Offering a place to stay for visiting family to stay in

  • Mouring with my family

  • Rejoicing with my family

  • The list goes on ... I know I am forgetting somethings.
